Difference between the 034 and ATP eliminator manifolds??

**converted2audi** · 04-17-2008 08:29 AM

I have seen a lot of people recommend the 034 eliminator mani as a way to avoid the cracking issues with the ATP mani, but performance-wise, is there any difference between the two?? Like size of runners, flow restriction or anything like that? Sorry for the non-technical description, but im by no means a technical expert

The two seem very similar based on pictures. I went with 034 thanks to a crazy deal offered a while ago. I've had it ceramic coated and is being installed right now.

034 does not make an eliminator manifold, they sell ATP products.

**converted2audi** · 04-17-2008 09:01 AM

so this is an atp manifold?? it says "we made this manifold for you"

not saying your are wrong, im just curious!

I have that manifold in my car, and it works just great! I really like it. I really helps out on the top end.

Issam from 034 has stated here that their manifold is not the same as ATP's (older or newer). Do a search on "034 manifold". Very similar when looking at it, but they are different.

You be the judge

Old Style ATP Manifold (the one that was replaced due to cracking)

The Manifold 034 sells

Looks like an ATP manifold that the top has been machined down to remove the ATP logo.

**converted2audi** · 04-17-2008 09:32 AM

well cant really argue with that no can you!! haha.....

so why then have i seen the 034 being recommended as a replacement for the cracking atp mani??

sorry to be a pain guys, but im just trying to learn thats all :)

has anyone had cracking problems with the 034?

**F16HTON** · 04-17-2008 09:45 AM

Who knows, maybe 034 bought out all of the old ATP stock, maybe ATP switched casting foundrys all-together when they went to the update manifold they sell that is more resitant to cracking and 034 bought the rights to the old manifold.

Heck, the ATP "style" manifold that 034 sells may be a chinese knock-off that is superior quality.

The pics do not lie however. I know you can get a true ATP manifold from online vendors for $295

regardless, buy the one from Issam. He'll treat you right.

My POS ATP Mani just went.. has more cracks on it than the San Andreas Fault! Hopefull Eurocode will warranty it Monday.

**RLB6** · 04-20-2008 12:09 PM

I have the ExoticSpeed mani and couldn't be happier.

**sean1.8t** · 04-20-2008 12:40 PM

iirc, Issam did state that physically the mani's look the same. but they are not built the same. he posted some flow numbers on the ATP vs 034 vs stock. and the 034 out flowed both others
